What changes? Are these changes not shown on the chart? The chart is pretty much identical. I do understand the need to issue a new chart just cause the one on the back got changed but why not use it from the very first moment it gets issued. Why wait a couple of days to switch from chart A (older one before B's effective date) to chart B (newly issued one) when quite practically A=B.
Especially that there are a lot of cases in which there would be a chart WITH CHANGES yet with no effective date and we start using them right away.
